Applications
Start with how the space is used. The model number comes later.
Buildings with the same floor area can need very different HVAC. The engineering desk starts from occupancy, loads, operating hours, fresh air and how the space will be maintained.

01
Villas and apartments
Homes usually get inverter wall splits or a small VRF system, sized room by room for Gulf summers and installed by a certified Ventivon partner after a survey.
Talk it through with HenrikUsually starts from
- Inverter wall splits
- Ducted splits for concealed installs
- Small VRF systems for larger villas
What changes the selection
- Bedrooms want low sound levels at night, so dB(A) matters as much as capacity.
- Within 2 km of the sea, an outdoor coil needs a coastal coating and a fresh-water rinse every 3 months.
- Sun-exposed outdoor units need shade that does not block their airflow.
02
Offices and co-working
Offices usually get VRF with dedicated fresh-air units: zone-by-zone control for changing layouts, heat recovery where some zones need less cooling, and BMS integration over BACnet or Modbus.
Talk it through with HenrikUsually starts from
- VRF heat pump or heat recovery
- Dedicated fresh-air and energy recovery units
- Cassettes and ducted indoor units
- Central controllers and BMS gateways
What changes the selection
- Meeting rooms and open plan swing between empty and full within the hour.
- Small rooms on a VRF system are checked against refrigerant concentration limits.
- Tenant-by-tenant fit-outs suit systems that can be phased.
03
Hotels and serviced apartments
Hotels and larger mixed-use buildings often suit air-cooled chillers with fan coil units and fresh-air units: quiet guest rooms, central fresh-air treatment in humid months, and plant that can be replaced in stages.
Talk it through with HenrikUsually starts from
- Air-cooled chillers
- Fan coil units
- Fresh-air and heat recovery units
- Kitchen ventilation
What changes the selection
- Guest rooms need low noise and room-level control.
- Humid coastal summers bring a large moisture load in with the fresh air.
- Replacement has to happen while the building stays open.
04
Healthcare clinics
Clinics usually get VRF or ducted units with dedicated, filtered fresh air, and room pressure control where procedures need it.
Talk it through with HenrikUsually starts from
- Ducted units and VRF
- Filtered fresh-air units
- Pressure and air-quality sensors
- Actuators and control valves
What changes the selection
- Procedure rooms may need pressure control and higher filter classes.
- Treatment rooms stay in use through long days.
- Final specification for critical spaces is reviewed by the engineering desk.
05
Retail, restaurants and kitchens
Shops and restaurants usually get packaged or split cooling for the front of house, and kitchens need extract, make-up air and fire-rated fans behind the grease filtration.
Talk it through with HenrikUsually starts from
- Packaged and rooftop units
- Kitchen extract and make-up air fans
- Ducted splits
- Diffusers and grilles
What changes the selection
- Kitchen extract runs hot and greasy air, so the fan has to suit where it sits in the run.
- Opening hours and occupancy change the load through the day.
- Roll-outs across several sites benefit from one repeatable selection.
06
Schools, light industrial and logistics
Schools, nurseries, workshops and warehouses need robust cooling and ventilation for large volumes, with sand and dust protection on fresh-air intakes and filters matched to the site.
Talk it through with HenrikUsually starts from
- Packaged and rooftop units
- Air handling units
- Roof and in-line fans
- Air filters
What changes the selection
- Dust and sand load coils and filters faster, so intervals shorten.
- Fresh-air intakes want sand-trap louvres.
- Server and data rooms need close-control units, which the engineering desk selects on request.
